Yes, the draw is out, but I dont know where to find it. How do I know??? well, couple of my buddies are on their way to Boston right now to partake in the tournament. They got their draws already......

..Tianfook, thanks for sharing!:cool:...Btw, do you have the results (main draws)..:)

The only result I am aware of is the singles champion title went to Holvy DePauw (coach at Smashcity badminton club).

I participated in Boston Open (cant recall the year... i think 1996 or 97) representing Arizona and managed to squeeze in 3rd round (Men Single) then lost to a Canadian player. Gosh... Miss those days... :D

thankyou thankyou thankyou for the pictures...

oh by the way, here are the winners:
womens singles- johannah lee
womens doubles- johanna lee and mona santoso
mixed doubles- candra and mona
but i am not sure for mens doubles.

Howard Bach -Bob Malaythong won the mens double. They beat Chandra-Daniel in straight sets.

thanks for the pics, they're really great.

Thanks for sharing the pics! Not bad at all.

Btw, you captured even more of my friends who sat off court. ;)

any scores update for the final rounds. I dont see any Canadian players this year. Were they here this year or they are planning to go to the BBC Open ?

What were folks views of this years' Wilson Boston Open? I am curious how the tournament was viewed by players and spectators. Any comments would be appreciated.

Questions on post #1 #15 and #35 can be answered right away if you use tournamentsoftware to post the draw and result. Until now, I still don't know who were in the semi and final or any Canadian or other foreign players showed up.

people like to know who is playing, who is beating who, who is losing to who, something like A beats B 29-30, 30-29, 30-29 or C beats D 21-0, 0-21, 21-0 etc......what a big upset.......etc. This is what makes tournaments exciting.

how come nobody took my picture as i was feverishly fighting in the consolation rounds .... :D:D:D

wow great pictures! congrats to chandra and mona, they came out with so many medals!
